I'd cut the aromatic from the tripel.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
But a tripel shouldn't have that....at least if you want to stay true to the style. So no, I really can't suggest anything. My tripels are simply pils malt and table sugar and I love them that way.
+1 - think of a tripel as the Belgian answer to a pilsner, but higher gravity and with Belgian yeast.
I included the Aromatic because I've heard some podcasts and seen a few recipes for tripels that call for it.

On you Dubbel, you might want to think about adding a bit of Special B.
FERMENTABLES:7 lb - Dry Malt Extract - Pilsner (80%)1 lb - Belgian Candi Syrup - D2 (11.4%)STEEPING GRAINS:0.5 lb - CaraMunich I (5.7%)0.25 lb - Special B (2.9%)
I would personally not use any special B in a dubbel and up the amount of Dark candi syrup. I think you might be starting to see there is not really a right or wrong answer here, but personal preference.
Already there.
